While on a ride this Saturday morning along the Delaware River, I saw an odd (to me) sight: a
cyclist drafting a car. The car, a station wagon, had its blinkers on and its rear door up, and the
cyclist was a foot or two behind the car, just about under the door. Is this some kind of training
technique? If so, what's the benefit of training without working against the wind? Or is there some
more subtle technical exercise going on here?
I passed the fellow and his entourage again on my way back, and this time I had the presence of mind
to give him a little wave, which he returned. Not too many of us out around here these days, with
temps in the teens and single-digit wind chill. --Roy Zipris
